To Reheat Khao Niew (Sticky Rice):

Microwave method for reheating Khao Niew (Sticky Rice):

Consume within 1 day of receiving the rice. Open up a corner of the Ziploc bag to create steam and ventilation. Microwave for 45 seconds. The rice will be perfectly steamed and soft! 

Steaming is often regarded as the gold standard for reheating sticky rice, as it effectively rehydrates the grains while maintaining their original texture. To begin, gather your equipment, including a steamer basket or a bamboo steamer, and a pot filled with a few inches of water. If you don't have a steamer, you can also use a heatproof dish placed in a pot of simmering water. The goal is to create a gentle steam environment that will help warm the rice without direct contact with boiling water.

Next, take your leftover sticky rice and break up any clumps to ensure even heating. Place the rice into the steamer basket, spreading it out evenly to allow for proper steam circulation. If desired, you can cover the rice with a clean, damp cloth to help retain moisture during the reheating process. Once your steamer is set up, bring the water to a gentle simmer and place the steamer basket over the pot. Cover with a lid and allow the rice to steam for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is heated through.

As the rice steams, the gentle heat will work its magic, reintroducing moisture and fluffiness. Once finished, carefully remove the steamer basket from the pot, being mindful of the hot steam. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving to further enhance its texture. This method not only revives the rice but also makes it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes, from savory stir-fries to flavorful curries. The result is perfectly fluffy sticky rice that retains its delightful chewiness and taste.
